Used by people from Liverpool to describe people from outside the city, though specifically those from areas in close proximity such as the Wirral, St. Helens and parts of Cheshire and Lancashire. People from these areas with similar accents may pretend or act as if they are true Liverpudlians/Scousers.

He likes to pretend he's from Toccy but he's from Chester/St.Helens/Birkenhead the fucking wool!

A wool is an uncouth person from the land of St. Helens. Some wools decide to span out and dress equally like us superior Scouse folk, but others choose to be less appealing. The girls all wear Diadora pants and Umbro jumpers hair tied up and huge loopy ear-rings, the lads wear similarly the same but Rockport boots. The lads will think they are hard and usually rabble rouse with the Scousers only to be beaten down and the girls are the most filthiest I have ever encountered. Basically it's not good to be a wool.

Scouser: "Shut up you wool"
Wool: "Fuck off you scouse cunt!"
SLAP!

A wool is short for the Liverpool term Wooly Back which is a derogatory expression for people from lancashire and cheshire, originating from the early 1900's when the population of lancashire used to wear a form of sheepskin coat and was considered to be a sheep shagger by scousers.

This of course has not changed much, except the lancashire and cheshire fashion sense has got worse

Wool can mean many different things, but this definition is about the clothing product. Wool is made from the wool of sheep, and is woven into a fabric. Wool clothing is warmer than any other insulation available for its mass. Sure you can put on a huge coat and several thermal shirts, but you can put on one wool coat and be just as warm while wearing less. Wool is also a very good insulator while wet. Take my word when I say it, I have fallen through ice while ice fishing, and I would have froze to death if i was not wearing my wool coat and wool pants. That is actually what saved my life, because the closest person was 45 minutes away. Wool, get some and you'll probably never go back. Unless you don't like wool.
